Will Smith, ‘Carlton’ and Friends Give UK’s Graham Norton a Show (Video)
May 26, 2013
This could be the most fun 6 minutes you will experience without Dougie Fresh! Watch Will Smith get off the guest couch to rock the mics with his son Jaden at the host’s invitation on the UK’s “Graham Norton Show.” Then… we get DJ Jazzy Jeff on the table… THEN we get Alfonso Ribero (Will’s co-star from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” TV show) coming out to do his ‘Carlton’ dance with Will singing along to the song! A stunned and thoroughly entertained Bradley Cooper (from “The Hangover” and “A-Team” movies) looks on then daps up the performers afterward.
It was like a talk show was going on, and all of a sudden, a party train crashed the studio. You better ‘jump on it’ and enjoy this video!

April 23, 2013
Snoop appeared as a guest on HuffPost Live to promote his album “Reincarnated” (out now). That was the main intent. But you Snoop does what Snoop does… like firing up the weed and freestyling … LIVE!
He didn’t mean to though. He said so in the clip above. You can watch the entire sit-down on the HuffPost Live here.
He also spoke on his transition from gangsta/pimpin’ to a new persona pushing peace and non-violence; even weighing on the Rick Ross “didn’t know” lyric controversy. Good stuff.
